Ravings on CS, OSs, PLs, SF, and other things geeky...

Finally heard Sigur Rós the way I have always wanted. The release of their new movie Heima marks AFAIK the first time their music is available in high quality, 5.1 channel surround sound.

In 2006 the group concluded their world tour by returning home to Iceland and touring their homeland. They played their music, often without much notice, here and there around the countryside. The movie follows the band on this inspirationally impromptu concert tour. More than anything, what I really loved about this movie was awesome DTS soundtrack. It was so crisp and vibrant that the sound really sunk in and held me captive for the duration. Dare I say it even rivaled a live performance! If only I could get some of their albums in the same way. A proper SACD or DVD-Audio release of their stuff is sorely wanted.
